The NEHU Teachers Association (NEHUTA) held a peace march on the North-Eastern Hill University campus here today to send a message of “peace, sisterhood and fraternity” to strife-torn Manipur.
According to a press release, the march was attended by hundreds of students, teachers, employees and civil society members from the North East states.
“The march reverberated a committed and sincere voice of peace and harmony to bring an end to conflict in Manipur,” the release stated. “NEHUTA emphasised on ‘peace with justice’ as the top priority that should be pursued in Manipur even before resolving any other vexed problem that is considered as the cause of the conflict.”
Being a microcosm of the North East, the NEHU community implored upon everyone to come forward and reestablish peace and strive towards a violence-free Manipur.
